Humanity survived....

Barely, and thanks to networks of gigantic tower systems created to surround small villages with a protective barrier of lethal energy. It kept everything out...and everyone in.

Sixteen years have passed, and a girl born the night the world fell apart learns that she has a strange talent. The towers can speak, and she is the only one who can hear them.

It was a decent story but ends before anything is resolved. It’s the first in a series but it’s not a stand alone story and you have to get the next couple books for it to make sense. If your looking for a series it may be worth getting but as a one book story it’s not worth it.

Doesn’t stand alone on its own

That really only grabbed my attention in the last 90 min or so. So much filler that could have been left out and probably combined with the second book to make it more exciting.
I will say the last 90 min were really good and will prob have me giving book two a shot.

A slow burn…

Caught me from the first chapter. Plot, narration, writing are all superb. Now I am going to spend some money on the next book!

Best I have heard/read in ages!

This was fine. A lot of filler as others have said. If you take out the furrowed brows, raised eyebrows it’d be a novella.

I chose this book based on all the great reviews. There were several reasons why I did not like the book. I truly just tolerate Young Adult books. After raising my children and currently my grandchildren, I am done with reading books better suited for teenagers and young adults. Secondly, I found the book slowing and hard to engage for all but the last 60 minutes. I was not compelled to press “play” so finishing the book took longer than most. I had no issues with the narration. I will not be continuing this series.

The game by terry schott is my current favorite series and because of it I’ve become a fast fan of his other work including towers!

Awesome author!

Much like The Game is Life series the storyline and characters of Towers are captivating and entertaining. The main characters are young and sometimes the book feels equally young, but the author is great about keeping interest up enough to get past those points.

An easy listen :)

Great for a young adult series

There are a number of things to like and the story is interesting in may ways, but the first book only focuses on a couple of months in the MC’s life, with 2 chapters giving an extremely short and disjointed backstory, and the people are stunted emotionally or at the very least extremely callous. Maybe that’s what happens to survivors of an apocalypse, I wouldn’t know, but I found it difficult to swallow and get past.

Things happen, people die, there is betrayal and some intrigue but the story is very slow and focuses on the minuscule and the odd moments and conversations without us really getting to know more of the world or the village. We are left guessing about how things got so bad with the world and the mind boggles at the level of changes in infrastructure, law and basically casts or at least formation of guilds in the short time that’s passed. And lets not forget the choosing which for some reason only begins at our MC’s 16th birthday. 16 years is the time since the apocalypse, and no-one has had to choose a path before? Where there no children older than our MC? Were all survivors 16 and above at the time of the apocalypse?

These are just some of the things that made me shake my head.
I wanted to like this book more than I did, and the thing that kind of ruined that is the absolute emotional desert this turned out to be. Just an Oh well, life goes on attitude. Everybody grieves differently, and handle trauma in individual ways, but to shrug it off and mingle with the killer after just a few of days? I didn’t find any of it believable.

Emotionally stunted
